Devilian Shutting Down March 5

It looks like there’s more bad news on the MMORPG horizon, especially if you happen to still be playing Devilian. Trion’s action MMORPG will be closing its doors on March 5, 2018.

The official announcement from Trion went up this weekend, but it didn’t offer much insight other than stating that Trion Worlds and Bluehole Ginno have come to a mutual agreement to shut down Devilian. However, there were reports from players that a bug has existed for months that caused the client to crash to desktop after launching. It’s likely that there simply wasn’t enough revenue coming from the game to keep it updated and fix the current errors.

In order to compensate players, Trion is offering current Devilian players an option to transfer their credits to one of the company’s other titles along with welcome packages. Here are the available options:

ArcheAge – The Erenor Eternal Starter Pack, containing:

Mirage Snowlion Mount

Moonsand Fox Pet

Our Thoughts

Even though Devilian might not have been the most popular MMO around, it’s still unfortunate to see yet another game shutdown. This is especially true for action MMORPGs after the unexpected closure of Marvel Heroes last year.
